## Collecting Alignment Statistics

We are going to use `Picard` once again in order to collect our alignment statistics. `Picard` has many packages for collecting different types of data, but the one we will be using is [`CollectAlignmentSummaryMetrics`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360040507751-CollectAlignmentSummaryMetrics-Picard). This tool takes a **SAM/BAM file input** and **produces metrics** (in a tabe delimited `.txt` file) detailing the quality of the read alignments. _Note that these quality filters are specific to Illumina data._ Some exampled of metrics reported include (but, is not limited to):
